I've encountered a strange problem when translating strings (in the admin) using django's gettext: Locally running the dev server all translations are displayed correctly in the admin, but when the project is deployed on the production server some strings are not translated at all. I cannot determine any system behind which strings are affected and which not!
To give you an impression, eg. a model is defined like:
class Company(models.Model):
....
class Meta:
verbose_name = _('Company Profile')
verbose_name_plural = _('Company Profiles')
Using dev server the model's name shows up correctly in different languages in the admin, on the production server not! This affects some models, others not... This is driving me really nuts, since I hardly have a idea on how to debug this...
A few possibilities:
fuzzyugettext instead of ugettext_lazy
